  -> True! Moj odgovor je baziran sa pogleda razumevanja teksta od strane citaoca. Bezbroj je primera gde se koriste, cak i u istom tekstu, oba prevoda. Npr. u rusko-engleskom recniku se oba navode kao tacna: великий князь {m}grand duke {m}, a i,князь {m}princ

agree  ganaa444: Actually it's similar to Wang in the East which is equal with King (lower than Emperor). However, in Europe it's traditionally translated as "Prince". Княжество-Principality

agree  M. Vučković: duke je vojvoda/herceg u germanskim državama. mi imamo i jedno i drugo, ali je herceg došao sa zapada a vojvoda sa istoka.
